Israel and Iran are edging dangerously close to a state of all-out war.  On Sunday night, Israeli forces rained missiles down on Iranian forces based in the Damascus area \u201cfor nearly an hour\u201d.  According to the IDF, this was a response to \u201cdozens\u201d of missiles that were fired by Iranian forces in Syria toward targets in Israel earlier that day.  The Israelis were able to intercept the Iranian missiles, but if any of them had gotten through they could have caused a tremendous amount of damage.  Some of the missiles that Israel fired at the Iranians were reportedly intercepted, but quite a few of them did hit their intended targets. If the violence continues to escalate, we could potentially soon be talking about an all-out war between Israel and Iran in which both sides use their weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missile strikes against Iranian targets in Damascus made headlines all over the globe.  According to Syrian state media, there were \u201cconsecutive waves of guided missiles\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syrian state media cited a Syrian military source as saying Israel launched an \u201cintense attack through consecutive waves of guided missiles\u201d<\/strong>, but that Syrian air defenses destroyed most of the \u201chostile targets\u201d.<\/p>

Witnesses in Damascus said loud explosions<\/strong> rang out in the night sky for nearly an hour<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Syrians are boasting that they were able to destroy quite a few of the Israeli missiles, but independent observers confirm that quite a few Iranian targets were destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the Israelis have not always publicly acknowledged their attacks in Syria, but on Sunday night they released an immediate statement<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have started striking Iranian Quds targets in Syrian territory,\u201d<\/strong> Israel\u2019s military said in a statement.<\/p>

\u201cWe warn the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli forces or territory.\u201d<\/p>
